SwimBC is very pleased to announce that new Provincial Coach, Rocco Meiring, has arrived in Canada and started in his new position, effective last week.

Meiring comes to us from South Africa, where he oversaw the initiation and operation of the National Training Centre there, along with coaching at the University of Pretoria.

Rocco has spent his first few days on the job in meetings with other SwimBC staff, Swimming Canada's High Performance staff, Canadian Sports Institute partners as well as coaches with the National Training Centre in Vancouver and Victo oria Academy of Swimming.

He is looking forward to meeting more of our membership over the coming weeks as well as watching many of our Provincial Team members in action at PanPac / Commonwealth Games Trials in Victoria the first week of April.
